Jamestown, also known as Webersvallei ("Weber's Valley") plus Mountain View,[2][3][4] is a quiet rural settlement on the southern outskirts of Stellenbosch in the Cape Winelands District of the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is situated next to Blaauwklippen Vineyards,[5][6] on the eastern side of route R44 from Stellenbosch to Somerset West and the Strand coastal resort.[7] The main access from the R44 is via Webersvallei Road, the main road in Jamestown with watererven – long, narrow agricultural plots on the south bank of Blouklip River – on the north side of the road and residential plots on the south side of the road.[8][9][10][11]
